June 10 Democratic Movement Monument Stone in Seogwipo
A monumental stone that commemorates the June 10 1987 protest for democracy in Seogwipo, the southernmost city of the Korean Peninsula. It was recorded as a meaningful resistance to oppression, since Seogwipo was a small city without universities. The stone is located on the playgrounds of the Maeil Olle Market in Seogwipo.

Incredible value. We had a beautiful room and a spectacular view of the ocean set among the orange groves. The breakfast was a delicious western style buffet with eggs, toast, fruit, coffee and tea. It would be difficult to access without a car as it is quite far outside the city limits. However, I highly recommend this lovely pension.
